Creative Director Brian Hicks Leaving Bohemia Interactive

DayZ Creative Director Brian Hicks has announced that he is leaving Bohemia Interactive sometime in the weeks following the released of update .63. According to a blog post on the DayZ forums, Hicks writes that he feels he is no longer needed for the game's future as the team remaining "has a solid grasp of what DayZ is and what it needs to be".

DayZ has been my life, made my life - and been so ingrained in who and what I am that I won't be able to just walk away. Hell, I've just crossed 7,000 hours between two accounts. From here, I look forward to opportunities back home in the States, being closer to family, and playing DayZ as much as I possibly can. I certainly have not forgotten my promise to TSM Smak to do a 24-hour stream when DayZ hits 1.0.
